Earn from graphic design entirely on your own website without an online marketplace
Graphic design is an in-demand profession. There are ways to utilize both talent and skills in this profession.
So let's get started!
What is outsourcing?
When a person or an organization outsources a specific task to someone else instead of doing it in-house, it is called outsourcing. And those who do outsourcing are basically freelancers. Outsourcing was first used exclusively as a business strategy in 1989. But in 1990 it was formalized i.e. business became a part of economy.
While outsourcing is a core business, some say it's causing a loss of jobs for people in the company's own sector, especially those in manufacturing.
But today's context is not about outsourcing. Rather, today's topic is about those who see your talent and hire you as a freelancer from the outsourcer. Here basically you need to find out who your target customers are outsourcers. For this you will have two options
- Paid Strategy
- Organic strategy
Why not work in online marketplaces?
What is online marketplace? An online marketplace is a type of e-commerce website. Where more than one person is always employed by a third party to provide information about the product or service. These third parties act as marketplace operators, who exchange job information and collect a fixed commission from outsourced individuals and freelancers.
Currently there are many popular online marketplaces where virtual resources like graphic design are dealt with. These include fiverr, upwork, 99designs, freelancer, guru etc.
Fiver is a non-approval online marketplace site among them. In other words, you don't need approval to work here and Fiver is very accessible to freelancers and clients as the sale starts from a minimum of $5 to get work quickly. But there is nothing to hope for. Because Fiver has a lot of restrictions. And it is very difficult to maintain. On the other hand, to get a job on upwork and 99designs among other marketplaces, you need to get your profile approved first.
Moreover, every marketplace, whether freelancing or freelancing, has more limitations and pains like paying more commissions. So today I will discuss the easy process of getting freelancing work by outsourcing directly from the client.
How to earn without an online marketplace?
As mentioned earlier, you need to follow some strategies to get permanent work outside online marketplace. One of them is to create your own website. Since this website will be providing graphic design services, it should be under the scope of e-commerce site.
A properly run e-commerce site can earn you huge monthly income. But before that, you need to know what is e-commerce website?
What is an e-commerce website?
E-commerce is electronic commerce. Where resources or products or services are provided digitally online. As the shopping is done here it depends on the payment gateway. Now let's find out what the payment gateway actually is?
What is a payment gateway?
In simple terms, payment gateways are trusted debit or credit cards used to transact online. One of the many advantages of having a payment gateway is that you can transact from the comfort of your home. The use of payment gateways in e-commerce sites is very old and readily available.
Earn from e-commerce site by designing graphic
Now come to the main topic. By now you must have set up the e-commerce site platform in your mind according to the idea? Now speaking, how to decorate this site?
Basically organize all the graphic design hand made resources you have on the website by category. If you want to provide logo design services then there should be one category for vintage logos, another category for mascots. And under each category, the price of the logo should be given according to the user manual of the website.
Depending on this price the client will order you, which a payment gateway needs to receive. But it is more important to know who your target audience is.
Why?
Let's find out.
Select the target audience
This is why it is important to know the target audience because if you target people in your own country and sell to them, you will not generate as much revenue as you should. On the other hand, the demand for graphic related art in western countries as well as their currency is higher than our country.
That's why you should select the right target audience. Then make a page on Facebook and target them with the help of your payment gateway or method and if you boost the product country wise you will get results.
How much can I earn a month?
The catch in this case is that it is difficult to provide any information and it is even more difficult in the case of e-commerce business. Still, if you earn an average of $50 a day, that's $1500 a month.
Finally, the work of the marketplace is already decreasing. Since now those skilled artists or graphic designers have started selling their virtual resources on micro stock sites. Meanwhile, Adobe stock offers a lot of revenue. The next generation is therefore more inclined towards micro stock sites. If you have any questions about micro stock site let me know, I will try to make the next tune on micro stock inshallah. And don't forget to let us know how this tune turned out today.
